In the presence of the director
Yuri lives with his aunt in a small village in Abruzzo, which is his whole world, but when he meets Agostino, a wandering animator who promises him independence, he will have to face the inner earthquake of sudden spiritual growth.
Simone Bozzelli’s directorial debut is a film of cages, physical and mental, that can be broken only by the power of images, capable of transporting a young boy in search of the peace of desire even across the ocean, where he can extinguish all his innermost anxieties.
